A Cobble experience · from our publisher

What to expect

All 15 scenes in this named Collection are free in the Cobble app. Listen in any order, on location or remotely. The 15–30-minute estimate is for a selection, not every scene. No train journey is needed to listen remotely; fares are separate if you travel, and this is not a ticket to closed stations or restricted areas. Other Collections and Walks may cost extra.

Price, without the small print

Free · per listener. This named Collection is free; no paid Pass required. Transport, food and optional extras are outside this activity price.

Before you go

We check details against official sources, but hours, prices and availability can change before this guide is updated. Please check the official website before travelling or booking.

Opening and timing: Remote listening has no venue timetable. If visiting a station or scene location, check access and the day’s transport service first.

Booking: Open the Collection on Cobble’s website, then listen in the app.

Time to allow: 15–30 min. This is our estimate for a focused visit. Add time for travel, queues and any extra stops.

Access and taking a break

You can listen remotely without navigating a station. For an outing, station entrances, lifts and street routes need their own access checks. Bring your phone and headphones.

Choose a couple of stories and leave the rest for another day. Pause whenever you need to pay attention to your journey.

We have not audited a complete step-free route. If a particular access feature matters to you, confirm it with the organisation before travelling.
